Is it wrong to get excited??
by Joseph Oprysko 03 Jan '16

03 Jan '16

I just setup a Mac LocalTalk network, and I'm so thrilled and excited about it. Yes, it's only a Mac SE and an SE/30, each with 4mb of ram (the SE/30 originally had 8 and the SE had 1, but I played the great equalizer!). Last year at VCFeX I picked up a couple of LocalTalk adapters, even though at that time, I had no use for them. In '09 at a flea market I had picked up the 25' sealed LocalTalk cable, but finally, it all came together. Would anyone happen to have an ImageWriter ribbon re-inker? I've bought 2 different ones from online and both turned out to be "vintage" aka dry as a bone. I have 2 ribbons and could cheaply pick up some ink. I know Office Depot sells them, they are the last place I can try, but I'd like to have the option of reinking rather than wasting all of that plastic and ribbon -- Normal Person: Hey, it seems that you know a lot. Geek: To be honest, it's due to all the surfing I do. Normal Person: So you go surfing? Normal Person: But I don't think that has anything to do with knowing a lot... Geek: I think that's wrong on a fundamental level. Normal Person: Huh? Huh? What?

vintagecomputer.net updates

In parallel with the new vcf fed site I updated vintagecomputer.net too, let me know what you think - should be fully responsive. Looks especially good in a phone, which was driving me crazy as this is how I often search for things. This site is my own template design with bootstrap as the underlying CSS. http://www.vintagecomputer.net and if you need any web design...see degnanco.net -- Bill

Buying Apple IIe Games

Hello everyone, After much struggle my Apple IIe is up and running! Unfortunately I'm in a software drought. I just have the system utilities and DOS 3.3 at the moment. I'm looking for some games for the system. I'm based in NYC, and am willing to drive within 45mins-1hr. Does anyone have any games they're looking to sell? You can contact me at my email or here, I don't care which. Thanks, James Garland

Happy New Years!! I just introduced a 14 year old to the fun of having their family killed by illness in Oregon Trail on the Mac. (my daughters boyfriend). LOL. -- Normal Person: Hey, it seems that you know a lot. Geek: To be honest, it's due to all the surfing I do. Normal Person: So you go surfing?
